The landing legs look really wimpy on a ship of this size. I suggest
doubling them up so they’re at least 2-wide... and put some nice big feet on
them.

The landing gear should be A LOT bigger given the presumed mass of the ship.
But I agree that they should pull into the fuselage. If this is a landing
craft, thent here should be banks of landing thrusters as well for a full
VTOL effect.

One could keep the wimpy-looking landing gear and instead devise a Higgs Boson
Field Negator, which would cut the percieved mass of the ship tremendously. As
a bonus, it could also allow you to travel at or near c with realistic fuel
expenditures.
Just a thought...

For smaller ships, I think Dan's star shuttle is another good example of cases (...) (21 years ago, 22-Jul-03, to lugnet.space, lugnet.build, FTX)
